Ubuntu 9.04 Third Alpha released
* Integrated support for the ext4 file system, which can now be selected during installation via the Ubuntu Installer interface.
* The user interface has a new method for displaying system notifications and state change indicators (volume change, detection of a wifi network, readiness of USB Flash for extraction, etc.). The newly received notifications line up on the screen in a queue and look ephemeral, i.e. they do not require any reaction from the user and are hidden automatically and initially positioned as a means of intermediate information (the user is invited to view the details or take some actions directly in the application that generated the notification).
* Integrated code of the last test snapshot X Server 1.6 / X.Org 7.5;
* The installer Ubiquity has the ability to encrypt the contents of individual home directories of users. In release 8.10, the “Private” catalog was introduced for storing private data, the data in which is stored in encrypted form, at 9.04 the functionality was expanded with encryption of home directories as a whole.
When testing, it should be borne in mind that the proprietary ATI fglrx and Nvidia drivers do not work with X Server 1.6, and there are also problems with graphics cards based on Intel i845 and i865 chips.
')
Currently, the page planned for implementation contains 17 items, including the creation of an LDAP DIT (Directory Information Tree) for managing users and groups, the creation of the X.Org configuration file editor, the prohibition of restarting the X server by pressing ctrl-alt-backspace, gdm update to GNOME 2.24 version, development of tools for automated testing of all aspects of X.org, translation of open source driver from XAA acceleration architecture to EXA.
